Poetry is so eternal. As long as there are people, they can remember words and combinations of words. Nothing else can survive a holocaust but poetry. No one can remember an entire novel.

The courage of the poet is to keep ajar the door that leads intomadness.
                      -Christopher Morley, writer (1890-1957)

A poet looks at the world the same way a man looks at a woman. -Wallace Stevens

You compose first, then you listen for the reverberation. -James Fenton,

Poetry is truth in its Sunday clothes. -Joseph Roux, priest and writer (1834-1886)

A tree is not a poem; a poem is a tree. -Richard Lee, Creative Writing Teacher, Cal State Long Beach, 1977
